Report: 40% of all cancers are preventable

LONDON (AP) – 40% of cancers could be avoided if people stop smoking and overeating, limiting alcohol consumption, exercise regularly and make the vaccination against cancer-causing diseases, experts said.

To mark Thursday’s World Cancer Day, the directors of the International Union Against Cancer, released a report focusing on measures that governments and the public can take to avoid illness

According to the World Health Organization, cancer accounts for one in eight deaths worldwide _ more than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. It also warned that without major changes, global deaths from cancer will increase from 7.6 million this year to 17 million by 2030.

The report of the International Union Against Cancer, the researchers said that 21% of all cancers are due to infections such as human papillomavirus, or HPV, which causes cervical cancer, and liver infections, which cause cancers of the stomach and liver.

Although Western countries have vaccines against these cancers, are almost nonexistent in the developing world. Almost 80% of HPV cancers occur in poor countries, according to the agency.

“Politicians around the world have the opportunity and obligation to use their vaccines to save lives and educate their communities to reduce the risk of getting cancer,” he said in a statement Gary Adams, director general of the International Union Against Cancer.

In Western nations, experts argue that many of the most common cancers _ including lung, breast and colon _ could be avoided if people change their habits. To reduce the risk, the agency recommended that people stop smoking, limit alcohol, avoid excess sun and maintain proper weight through diet and exercise.
